Coach Talk

JUST IN the end zone
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid display by Lamar Jackson, we utterly dominated Big Mikes Asskickers at the quarterback position this past week (59.65 points to 22.75). Jackson went 15-for-20 for 169 yards and five TDs (plus no INTs) in a 45-6 win over the Rams.
Big Mikes Asskickers
Jeff Driskel tossed three interceptions and just a single touchdown? Thanksgiving may be upon us, but we're having a lot of trouble giving thanks for that sort of display.
